Justin Bieber Up For BET Award
Justin Bieber Up For BET Award – Baby-faced Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber scored a nomination on Tuesday for a 2010 Black Entertainment Television award.
Bieber, 16, will compete in the best new artist category and was nominated for the awards alongside such prominent black performers as rapper Jay-Z, who led the field with five nominations, and his wife Beyonce, who scored four.
The BET Awards typically honor black singers, actors, actresses and athletes, but officials described Bieber as a cross-over artist.
“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years,” said Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programing and Specials. The awards will be held on Los Angeles on June 27.
Jay-Z’s five nominations included nods for best male hip hop artist, best collaboration and viewers’ choice as well as two nominations for video of the year.
